Issues

Similar to the previous election, the polls in this time is set to be dominated by issues like:[37][38]

  1. Citizenship anxiety centering around the CAA and SIR.
  2. Religious polarisation fueled by the electoral decline of Left Front and ascendancy of Hindutva, allegations of demographic change caused by the illegal immigration of Bangladeshi Muslims, and ascendancy of Islamism in that country following the July Uprising, widespread anti-Hindu violence and consolidation of the Jamaat-e-Islami along the India-Bangladesh border.
  3. Bengali identity, sub-nationalism and anti-Bengali sentiment in the Hindi-speaking belt of Northern India.
  4. Endemic corruption[a]
  5. Women's safety[b]
  6. Demographic displacement and migration from BIMARU states — Concerns among Bengali voters over large-scale in-migration from Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, perceived as straining local resources, displacing Bengali workers in the labour market, and being used as vote banks at the expense of native Bengali interests.
  7. Immigration — concerns over widespread illegal immigration of Bangladeshi Muslims, perceived as exploiting local resources, illegally accessing welfare schemes, allegedly spreading Islamist ideals in a secular society and ostensibly being appeased to be used as a vote bank by certain political forces.
  8. Lack of economic opportunities
  9. Anti-incumbency — 15 years against the ruling TMC
